The minute hand of a clock is 15 cm long. Calculate the area swept by it in 20 minutes.

Given:

Length of minute hand = 15 cm


Here, the length of the minute hand is equal to the radius of the sector formed by the minute hand.


Angle made by the minute hand in 1 minute = = 6°


Angle made by the minute hand in 20 minutes = 20 × 6 = 120°


Here, the area swept by the minute hand is equal to the area of the corresponding sector made.


∵ Area of sector = × πr2


= × 3.14 × 15 × 15 = 235.5 cm2


Hence, the area swept by it in 20 minutes is 235.5 cm2.
